Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Primitive isolated endocarditis of the tricuspid valve is rare.
  • Streptococcus sanguis is an uncommon pathogen in this specific valvular localization.

Observation:

  • A case of tricuspid valve endocarditis caused by Streptococcus sanguis is presented.
  • A significant vegetation persisted after effective antibiotic therapy.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced spontaneous pulmonary embolic migration of the vegetation three weeks post-antibiotics.
  • This event occurred without subsequent pulmonary or hemodynamic complications.

Implications:

  • The findings challenge standard treatment protocols for persistent vegetations after antibiotic therapy.
